Anyone else just starting their journey ?

[TTC73]

DH is going for his sperm sample to be tested today and hes so nervous and the GP wants me to have some blood tests done and swabs at a later date. So nervous of what to expect and terrified of the possibility of IVF I've heard its so painful ?
We've been trying to have a baby for over 3yrs with 2 chemical pregnancies so far

Oh well thats my smear done just need to get this hycosy over n done with first hurdle over n done with

Do you have a date yet?

I know this is a really old thread but just wondered if there are any success stories to give me a bit of hope.....

@TTC73 @kht7989 @donnas146 @Bezzbub @Ifeelinclined sorry for not tagging everyone it'll take too long 🙈

Hopefully welcome good news @squirrelnutkins1 - I found out I was pregnant earlier this year! Due in the Autumn. Stay positive. It really came out of nowhere for us!

@Bezzbub ah that's so great!! Huge congrats 😊

Wow! That is wonderful news! Congrats!

@Ifeelinclined how's things with you?

I got preg the month before we were due to start Letrazole but sadly that ended in mc.

I'm on my first month of Letrazole now so here's hoping 🙏🏻

We did 3 cycles of iui and several timed intercourse cycles and no luck. So we decided to take a break. I've lost about 30 lbs and we are in the process of buying a new house. So right now we are just going to see if maybe it happens naturally. If nothing happens, we will go back to fertility treatments this winter. I didn't realize how obsessed I had become on getting pregnant. The break has been great for us to be honest.

@Ifeelinclined wow sounds like you've got enough on your plate at the mo. Glad the break has done you good 😊 yeah it can def become an obsession! I really wish you the very best xx

We've been ttc for the last 6/7 years now. We went through all the usual tests with the nhs when we first started. I've got endometriosis & a high bmi. Hubby hasn't had a fresh sa since we started & had low motility then. I've tried battling my binge eating to get nhs fucked ivf but not managed so far. So we're starting the private process. I'm 35 & don't think I've ever been more terrified. Does anyone have any insight into the first consultation please?

@Bird1984 I'm not too sure privately but first consult on nhs is loads and loads of questions. Best to go with your OH. hope you have success soon x
